"Katara? Aang?" Sokka looked at the both of us. Aang stared past Sokka and I was looking down, blushing. "What's going on here?" Sokka was glaring at Aang.
"Sokka…nothing is going on!" I said, now looking at him. Sokka was glaring at the both of us now. "Sure…whatever you guys say." he said waving his hand as he walked out. Aang and I looked at each other. "Um…I'm kind of tired…I'll talk to you in the morning…Okay?" Aang said, not looking at me. I sighed and nodded, "Okay…see ya." I was saddened. Aang walked out of the room and shut the door behind him. I walked over to my bed and laid down on it, silent tears came out of my eyes, I soon fell asleep, still crying.
I moaned as the sun shone through the blinds. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, and groaned. I got up and looked at myself in the mirror. "I look disgusting." I mumbled to myself. I got some cloths and headed to my private bathroom. I turned on the water and I stripped down to nothing. I hopped in.
AANG POV
"I didn't sleep at all last night." I told Zuko. Zuko and I were roommate's for a while, until we could find another house with enough rooms. Zuko sighed, "You are unbelievable my friend." I looked up at Zuko as he leaned on the wall and crossed his arms. "How so?" I asked. Zuko rolled his eyes and chuckled. "If your to blind to even see that u make mistakes…then I have no idea how to help you." he stated.
I got off my bed and walked over to our closet. "Well…I know I make mistakes, but I don't see how telling Katara I love her is a mistake." I opened the closet and looked through it. "I feel it's the right thing to do, Zuko. Just like you and Mai. You guys are meant for each other, and me and Katara were meant for each other. I just have to figure out a way to tell her I love her!" I took out my usual attire. Zuko walked over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "When the time comes…you'll know." I nodded at him. Zuko nodded at me and headed out of the room. I took off my cloths that I slept in and put on my new ones.
I walked out of the room and went into the kitchen. Everyone must still be sleeping, I thought. But, where is Zuko? I chuckled, as I thought where he would be. I went into the pantry and looked for something to snack on, until Katara woke up and made breakfast. I sighed, happily, thinking of Katara. "Ouch!"
I looked behind me and saw Katara on the floor, holding her ankle. "Katara!" I ran over to her and sat next to her. Katara moaned in pain, holding her ankle tighter. "Katara, let me see." I said. She shook her head, tears starting to come out of her eyes. "Katara….you know I don't like seeing you hurt…please…let me see your ankle." I begged. Katara looked up at me with one eye, while the other one was closed tightly. She groaned as she took her hands off of her ankle. "You want me to heal it for you?" I asked as I looked at the damage. All over her ankle, black and blue and some purple.
She nodded, wiping under her eyes, I got up and got her water pouch and headed back over. I bended the water out and placed it around my hand. I put it over her swollen ankle and she moaned in pain.
"Ok…done."
She opened her eyes to see the swollen ankle gone. "You still might feel some pain…you know I'm not that great at healing." I put on a sheepish smile.
KATARA POV
Aang helped me up and I hissed a little as I put pressure on my left ankle. "Ouch." I mumbled. Aang was still holding my arm, even though I was fully up. "Thanks Aang." I looked at him. He smiled and nodded. "Here, let me help you over to the couch." He insisted. I nodded and he helped me over to the couch.
"Thanks Aang." I mumbled as he laid me down the couch. He kissed me forehead and nodded. I sighed, "I'm tired." Aang laughed, "How can you be tired? Don't showers usually wake people up?"
"How did you kno--?" Aang chuckled, "Your hair is still wet Katara." I blushed in embarrassment. "Oh." I said. Aang looked down. "Katara…about last night…" Aang mumbled. I looked at him, "Yeah?"
"Katara…you mean the world to me…if you ever died or-" Aang swallowed and looked down "-got killed…I wouldn't know how to live without you…Katara…"
"Yes Aang?" I was hopeful. Aang took a deep breath. "I love…you…"
